Suit shows ignorance of Second Amendment – Cape Cod Times (subscription)

Category: Second Amendment

I write in strong support of Attorney General Maura Healeys vigorous defense of our state law banning assault weapons.

As a Vietnam veteran, I carried an M16 assault weapon in country for 360 days. The members of the Gun Owners Action League who filed suit against the state Jan. 23 totally misinterpret the intent of the Second Amendment. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg presents a strong logical statement defining the Second Amendment in the 21st century:

When we no longer need people to keep muskets in their home, then the Second Amendment has no function. Its function is to enable the young nation to have people who will fight for it to have weapons that those soldiers will own. So I view the Second Amendment as rooted in the time totally allied to the need to support a militia. So ... the Second Amendment is outdated in the sense that its function has become obsolete.
